Alexander felt the life force in his body as he couldn’t help but reflect on his state just days ago.
When he had just a few hundred Values of Vigor.
When fighting against Bobo- a low Tier Beast, was a tremendous challenge!
But now, things had progressed from low-tier Beasts to Beast Lords, Kings, and Emperors who had Nine-link Gem Sockets.
And now, Rulers.
Entities that had grasped Covenants of Nature.
Ruling authorities that only seemed to further expand a Gem Master’s ability!
As a Ruler, Alexander was doing something that even though he didn’t have someone to compare himself to, his speed of progression was utterly ridiculous.
Of course, the one thing responsible for it all…was the Enneagram.
“Just what are you…” He mused as he placed his hand on his chest while floating in the air above the corpses of three Dragon Rulers.
“Alexander?”
Behind him, the voice of his father, followed by Branch Leader Axel and Azazel, appeared- Claire standing at the forefront as those behind her felt a stifling sensation just being near the three corpses of Rulers!
Alexander turned towards them and smiled.
The power he had was tremendous. And he never had trouble sharing it as he floated down, tendrils of golden rivers erupting around him as he got ready to perform a few rituals!
Meanwhile.
A distance away from the Sacred Gold Mountain.
In gray skies where one could barely see meters away, Balasa was flying low while spreading her aura of daringly.
She wanted to attract attention in order to achieve her new Master’s goal.
But that did prevent her from grumbling as she followed his orders!
[Who am I? A dignified Dragon! And now…]
Her thoughts were lamenting ones even as she tried to study the terrifying power now coursing through her because of him.
She didn’t know how, but she could swear that the Covenant of Fire seemed easier to understand now compared to before.
But…what sort of being could allow others to progress across understanding Covenants faster?
Balasa couldn’t fully accept it as in her grumbling…
[Ho? What’s this?]
A voice echoed out from over a mile away as past the heavy fog, multiple auras that were circling another direction noticed her aura and floated over.
Each was an aura of a Dragon Ruler as Balasa’s three heads squinted with flames and observed the gradual appearance of a party of five Dragons.
Each one radiated magnificence as when Balasa looked at them, her eyes lit up.
It was a bit more than three…but that should be okay with her Master, right?
She looked towards them and looked aggrieved, as if her honor had been violated!
It was an emotion she didn’t have to act out too much as she truly felt it.
[Fellow brethren! I actually came across two Human Rulers who rebuked me and insulted the dignity of Dragons. Would you all lend me a hand in punishing them?!]
Her three heads radiated a ferocious light.
[Oh?]
And the eyes of all five nee Dragons glinted as they looked at each other and silently agreed.
[We were about to report to the Silver Ruler of Space of a Sacred Mountain we found that even causes us trepidation, how far is this Human?]
[Not far at all, let me show you!]
Balasa was happy to bring them along as if she suffered misfortune, bringing others to face it too would make her feel just a bit better.
The emotions and thinking of a dignified dragon turned out to be quite twisted.
While Balasa got lucky and came across a large party, Polet continued to look in another direction.

Back on the Sacred Gold Mountain, some time passed as a few changes had taken place!
In a clearing of green gold trees, a few grasses swayed with vibrant Energeia as two Branch Leaders who used to oversee Carthage looked at each other in shock.
This was because on both of their chests, nine vibrant sockets glimmered brightly!
They weren’t the only ones as even the past Tier 3 Gem Master, Azazel, also had a dazzling array of 9 sockets on his chest.
They couldn’t wrap their minds around how this was even possible as Alexander seemed to do it so simply.
His father came out of his reverie and shock as he shook his head with emotion.
“Your mother…would be tremendously proud, Alex.”
…!
He spoke such words as Alexander smiled not too far away.
“Many things outside of our control occurred in the past. We have the power to control things a bit more now as we can only protect those who are here.”
His father had wanted to leave everything to him.
But he was alive and kicking, and now renewed with a burst of power!
“The Ability Gems from these three Rulers are unique and rare ones- see if you all want to socket them for your new recipes.”
He floated up as he left them to acclimate to their new power.
He had to observe and test out his own power as he already received word from Balasa about 5 Dragon Rulers returning with her!
Alongside this, two more Support Ability Gems for the Bonds of the Gold Ruler had been proposed, analyzed, refined, and forged by the Enneagram.
Being able to design one’s own support gems allowed ridiculous versatility as he could truly make a ridiculous Recipe that should never be allowed to exist.
He looked at the two additional golden gems within his chest as his figure flew into the skies of the Sacred Gold Mountain and turned into a golden streak of light that went towards the foggy areas outside of it.
If he knew where the enemy was, why wait for them to arrive at his home?
His eyes flickered with a sharp light as he flew out while looking at the details of the second Support Ability Gem that was incredibly short for its heavy boost!
[Golden Ruler’s Conqueror Support]:: A Ruling Ability Gem formed under the authority of the Covenant of Gold. It has a single doctrine that states the Gold Ruler cannot be without Conquered Subjects. It allows the souls of 6 beings who were defeated by the Gold Ruler to be bound to it and forever follow under his banner.
…!
A support ability gem that looked like a Main Ability Gem of another recipe.
And even this was corrected as initially, Alexander had placed the number of possible Conquered Subjects to be 18!
